  • Le Squonk est une créature présente dans les légendes, vivant selon les dires dans les forêts de Hemlock, au nord de la Pennsylvanie. Cette légende - ou plutôt canular - est probablement apparue à la fin du XIXe siècle, date à laquelle s’est vu s’accroître l’importance de l’industrie du bois, et de son abattage. Le premier écrit faisant mention des « squonks » provient d’un livre de William T. Cox intitulé (en) (1910). Le récit de Cox est repris par Jorge Luis Borges dans son Livre des êtres imaginaires (1969). (fr)

  • Nel , lo Squonk è una misteriosa creatura che abita nelle foreste di conifere della Pennsylvania settentrionale. Gli Squonk sono esseri di brutto aspetto e tristi, che piangono in continuazione, lasciando alle proprie spalle una scia di lacrime. I "cacciatori di Squonk" hanno più fortuna nelle notti fredde di luna, quando le lacrime cadono lente e l'animale si muove con maggiore difficoltà. (it)
  • Squonk – legendarny potwór mieszkający w lasach choinowych w północnej Pensylwanii. Legenda o squonkach pochodzi najprawdopodobniej z XIX w., z czasów świetności pensylwańskiego przemysłu drzewnego. Najstarsza znana pisemna wzmianka o squonkach pochodzi z książki Williama T. Coksa z 1910 r., traktującej o mitycznych potworach (tytuł oryginału: "Fearsome creatures of the lumberwood"). Nazwa gatunkowa squonka, Lacrimacorpus dissolvens, wywodzi się od łacińskich słów "łza", "ciało" i "znikać". (pl)
  • Сквонк или Скуонк — легендарное существо, якобы обитающее в тсуговых лесах северной Пенсильвании, США. Легенды о сквонке, вероятно, появились в конце XIX века, в разгар развития в Пенсильвании лесной промышленности и вырубки лесов. Фиктивное «научное название» сквонка — Lacrimacorpus dissolvens — происходит от латинских слов, означающих «слеза», «тело» и «растворяющийся». (ru)

text
  • The squonk is of a very retiring disposition, generally traveling about at twilight and dusk. Because of its misfitting skin, which is covered with warts and moles, it is always unhappy...Hunters who are good at tracking are able to follow a squonk by its tear-stained trail, for the animal weeps constantly. When cornered and escape seems impossible, or when surprised and frightened, it may even dissolve itself in tears. (en)
